    Congrats, 2in10.

    Did you opt for the wifi module as well?

    No, mainly because I don't use wifi for anything and don't have a card in my PC.

    Reef Angel...nice

    I have been learning and researching about controllers....I was looking at the Apex ...and the RKE...(so does the RKE have wireless connection??)

    And found out about the Reef Angel....I like this as I was also considering a DIY controller based on the Audrino...looks like this is worth the money to me....

    Anyone know if the RA can control the Vortechs wirelessly?

    Thanks,

    2in10 have you received your controller yet?

    I am currently starting to shop these out and would love to see what you think of the RA.

    Thanks.

    The only thing that can control Vortechs at all (beyond on/off with the power) is the Apex with an expansion module.

    I will be giving my thoughts on it as I get through the learning curve.

    Let me know how it goes....I think you will like the Client Suite 2.0 features as well....just read up on them myself.

    I have ordered my RA, with some customizations for my intended set up, and looking forward to it....I will be controlling practicaly everything on my set up!
    I am also awaiting the release of the Extension Hub!

    Are you planning on using the RA for dosing?

    Thanks for the reassurance. I am looking to control just about everything myself.
